With all the reproduction Barbie outfit out there I decided to start a series on the differences. I am starting with the reproduction Silken Flame doll. It come with a reproduction blonde or brunette bubblecut which is wearing Silken Flame and Red Flair.
The Red Flair outfit. Is mostly the hardest to till. The material very close to the original. For my the different it the feel of the coat. The older coat are soft and the reproduction feel harder. It does have a reproduction label. So the item to watch are the purse, gloves & hat. There are no tag in these so they can be called vintage when they are not. The reproduction gloves are more pointed and the vintage are curved.
The Silken Flame has plastic strips. These strips come off the minute the dress is taking off the doll. The reproduction dress is not tag and the original dress is tagged. The reproduction dress has netting under the satin and the original does not. The original Silken Flame come with dress, shoe, belt and purse. The reproduction does not have the purse and the belt is made in cloth not plastic.
